Chainsaw Applications
WARNING: Do not use the chainsaw if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
If you are unfamiliar with the following cutting procedures, ensure you fully
read and understand the instructions before undertaking the task.
Bucking Spike (Fig AC)
This chainsaw is fitted with a bucking spike / spike bumper (17). When
downward cutting, the bumper should be spiked into the surface of the
timber being cut.
This point is then used as a pivot point ensuring the cutting action is in the 1st
quadrant of the bar length.
The cutting action is then performed by lifting the rear handle (1) of the
chainsaw while the bucking spike (17) is the pivot in the timber.
The cutting action at the bar is then
downward and the cut is made.
The bucking spike (17) is reset to a new
pivot point by reducing the speed of the
chainsaw to idle, withdrawing the chainsaw
slightly away from the timber being cut
and lowering the rear handle (1) so the
bucking spike (17) is in a lower position on
the timber.
Apply the bucking spike (17) to the timber
in the new lower position and continue the
cut in the above action.
